26、 seems, depends on which country you are in. Shopping is very much a part of a countrys culture, and attitudes to shopping and consumers vary from country to country just as much as climate or taste in food. From the air-conditioned American shopping centers to the street market of African towns, th
27、e way we shop shows the way we see ourselves and our relationships with other people.Business competition in Europe has given consumers increased power. This has meant falling prices, plenty of special offers and a re-examination of what customer service really means. People often point to America a
28、s an example of excellent customer service. In restaurants in the south of the USA, for example, waiters compliment you on your clothes, ask about your day, compliment you on the wisdom of your order and then return every ten minutes to refill your glass and make sure that everything is to your sati
29、sfaction.Anyone who has waited 30 minutes to be served in a restaurant might well dream of such attention, but do Europeans really want US style service? As a friend of mine once told me, “By the end of the evening I had spent as much time talking to the waiter as to my wife.“ It is a question of ex
30、pectations. Different nationalities expect different types of service.A Chinese-American friend loves telling people about how her Chinese mother shops for clothes: “First of all she waits until they are on sale, then she bargains until she gets an even better price and then she finds some small fau
31、lt with the product and demands a further reduction. She never buys anything at the regular price.“ Could you imagine trying such tricks in a department store in your country?Attitudes to service are, of course, affected by employers attitudes to their workers. As American sales and service personne
32、l are heavily reliant on commission and tips, they have more motives to provide more service. But is this fair? Do we think it is fair to ask shop assistants to work late evenings, Sundays and 12 hour shifts? It might not be a case of “Is the customer always tight?“ but a case of “How much service i
33、s it fair to expect?“31 The way people shop_.（A）reflects the developmental stage of a country（B） carries social and cultural values（C） determines the way they socialize（D）reveals their social status32 The word “compliment“ in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_“.（A）evaluate（B） criticize（C） prais
34、e（D）laugh at33 The remarks of the authors friend in Paragraph 3 indicate that Europeans_.（A）think highly of the American service（B） do not appreciate the American service（C） find it impossible to accept the American service（D）will gradually accept the American service34 Why does the author use the C
35、hinese mothers shopping experience as an example?（A）To warn shop assistants of tough customers.（B） To teach people how to get better service as customers.（C） To criticize some improper shopping behavior.（D）To show how different peoples expectations of service are.35 Employers attitudes to their work
36、ers are affected by_.（A）attitudes to service（B） working attitudes（C） shopping method（D）service quality36 According to the last paragraph, the service quality of American service personnel may depend on_.（A）the customers attitude towards them（B） their working experience（C） the length of their working
37、 hours（D）the amount of commission and tips36 Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect wa
38、s first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers(鳏夫)were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a womans. The effect holds for all causes of death, whether i
39、llness, accident or self-harm.Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise,
40、a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesnt smoke. Theres a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouses death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you
41、 with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-econ
42、omic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的) mechanisms. For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may hand
43、le stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their health is inte
44、rconnected.“37 William Farrs study and other studies show that_.（A）social life provides an effective cure for illness.（B） being sociable helps improve ones quality of life.（C） women benefit more than men from marriage.（D）marriage contributes a great deal to longevity.38 Linda Waites studies support
45、the idea that_.（A）older men should quit smoking to stay healthy.（B） marriage can help make up for ill health.（C） the married are happier than the unmarried.（D）unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life.39 It can be inferred from the context that the “flip side“ (Line 4, Para. 2) refers to_.
46、（A）the disadvantages of being married.（B） the emotional problems arising from marriage.（C） the responsibility of taking care of ones family.（D）the consequence of a broken marriage.40 What does the author say about social networks?（A）They have effects similar to those of a marriage.（B） They help deve
47、lop peoples community spirit.（C） They provide timely support for those in need.（D）They help relieve people of their lifes burdens.41 What can be inferred from the last paragraph?（A）Its important that we develop a social network when young.（B） To stay healthy, one should have a proper social network.
48、（C） Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.（D）We should share our social networks with each other.42 The passage is mainly written to_.（A）marriage can help our health.（B） all kinds of social networks have effects on our life.（C） social contact can be benefit of our longevity.（D）share ou

The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21. Hundreds more are missing or feared dead.The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhaka as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country.
